Annecy is a small French town approximately 1 hours' drive south of Geneva. It is surrounded by mountains and has a large lake called Lake Annecy, funnily enough. It's an outdoor activity holiday haven, with so much on offer and amazing scenery to do it in. In the winter there are ski resorts nearby and in the summer you can do everything from sailing, swimming, hiking, paragliding, cycling, mountain climbing and pretty much anything else in between.
Why go to Lake Annecy?
I went to Annecy at the end of May. The idea was to go there for a training weekend because my friend and I had entered a triathlon race so we wanted to get some swimming, cycling and running practice in where it was made for it. Annecy looked like a perfect spot because we could cycle up into the mountains, run around the lake and swim in Lake Annecy.
The lake has a smooth cycle path running all the way around it, which is 45km long. The path runs right alongside the lake for the most part so you can enjoy the views across the lake with the mountains in the background while cycling. For the more adventurous, there are some seriously good, steep climbs around the area. Some of the routes have been used in recent years of the Tour de France.
Cycling in Annecy
It really is a cyclists paradise in Annecy and the surrounding areas. There are roads going high up into the mountains, such as the road from Annecy to Le Semnoz which has a ski station at the top. During the summer months there are hardly any cars on these roads so you have a peaceful ride ahead of you.
Before I went cycling in Annecy I did some research and found this cycling website which has some very good details about some routes you might like to ride around the area.
We rode on three different days while we were there, so I'll go over each one in a little more detail and include some tips and advice from my experience.
Le Semnoz
Start: Lake Annecy, 214m
Summit: Le Semnoz, 1,496m
Elevation Gain: 1,282m
This route starts right in Annecy itself and follows a D41 road all the way up to a ski station called Le Semnoz. For someone who is used to cycling in London where the steepest hills are only about 200 metres long, this was a wake-up call! The climb is 18km long and is just one long, relentless hill. Just when you think it can't be much further you turn a corner to be faced with another long stretch of uphill road. You just keep on the same road all the way up to the top where you will eventually turn a corner to see the ski station.
The route goes through forests and there are very few cars on the roads so it's peaceful and when you get a break in the trees the views over Annecy are stunning. The road surfaces are really good, no major potholes, cracks or dodgy drain covers to get your wheel stuck in. They are certainly much better than the roads in London.
Top Tip: If you get up quite high and you are in the clouds, and it's snowing, cold and wet and you do not have the correct clothing for the weather make sure you turn back. We didn't because we wanted to get to the top and we were hot because we were working hard to climb. The problem was coming back down, our hands were so cold we had to stop every minute or so to warm them up. It was really bad. There was snow on the ground and it was snowing so the signs were there, we just didn't take notice of them.
Because of the cold we had to go really slowly to prevent the wind chill against our hands. We averaged 11kph down the mountain which is about the same speed we had gone up it!
Annecy – Thones – Faverges – Montmin
Start: Annecy
Summit 1: Thones
Summit 2: Montmin
Elevation Gain: 2,000m
Because of our adventure the previous day we decided that we didn't want to head up too high into the clouds where it would be freezing cold, snowing and possibly raining. We had a look at the map and decided to take on a slightly different route and allow ourselves to go up higher if the weather was good. This was our route:
We started off with a gentle cycle around from our hotel on the west side of Lake Annecy to the east side and up towards a place called Thones. The roads are great, few cars and if you have a TT bike you can really get some good time in down in the aero cockpit! There is only around 200m of climbing so it's not much over that distance. The route then takes you back down into Faverges, where you can either ride back to Annecy or tackle another climb. We opted to tackle another climb as the weather was really good.
So we made our way up from Faverges to a place called Montmin. It's a really steep incline in places, up to 13%. It's a killer on your legs and you will definitely need all of those gears. On our way up we had seen a lot of vans going past with paragliding equipment on them. As we got higher we saw that there were a lot of gliders around the area as it was a great point to jump off at the top and the views of the lake and surrounding mountains was amazing.
The way back down was really fast! The descents are amazing, the roads very good so you don't have to worry as much about potholes. At one stage we had caught up to a BMW 6 series in front and were stuck behind him, we were much faster than him. He ended up pulling over to let us overtake him! We finished the day off with a well-deserved meal.
Just a word of warning, if you have all the aero gear you might find you get extreme speed while descending…You have been warned!
Getting to Annecy
We decided to drive from London to Annecy, and use the Euro tunnel. Two pieces of advice about driving.
1) Don't put your expensive bike on a roof rack
2) Don't forget that you put your expensive bike on the roof rack. More on that later…
The drive was actually OK, apart from the satellite navigation deciding that going through Paris was the best route because it wasn't. We were stuck there for a while in heavy traffic when we could have just gone a slightly longer but quicker way around.
French Roads
The roads in France are amazing. The motorways were smooth with few cars on them. Maybe one explanation is that they cost a lot to go on them. They seem to be mainly toll roads, unless we missed a trick and should have gone round…? The drive from Calais to Annecy cost around 60 Euros. We were stuck at 80mph though because of the bike on the roof.
Swimming in Lake Annecy
The water in Lake Annecy is reported to be one of the clearest in Europe and I can confirm that it is incredibly clear. You could see the bottom of the lake very easily. The water from the lake also meanders through channels throughout the small town, under bridges and besides houses. It looks clean enough to drink. It really is amazingly clear.
We were planning on going swimming in the lake until we found out that the water temperature was only 11 degrees. That's really cold in case you were wondering and is no fun at all. Luckily we found a 50m outdoor swimming pool (heated, I should add…) where we could train in our wetsuits for just 4 Euros. The place was called Piscine des Marquisatsmore and is right next to Annecy. Apparently it is filled with the water from Lake Annecy.
Back on Home Ground
All in all we had a really good trip. The weather for the first couple of days was bad but it certainly got better and good enough for us to get some good hill climbing in. I feel as though since I have been back there is no hill that I cannot take on much more easily now. Nothing can compare to those steep mountain climbs.
On our way back we were feeling a little hungry after getting off the Eurotunnel so decided to stop off at the first service station for a KFC. We saw one pretty much straight away and pulled in. Unfortunately I had forgotten about the bike on the roof and there were some stupidly placed height restriction barriers at the ends of each row for parking…As I drove underneath the barrier there was an almighty crashing sound, which was my friend's bike being ripped away from the roof and bouncing off the rear of the car! I stopped, we got out to see his bike dangling by the back wheel which was still attached to the roof rack, swinging back and forth scraping against the paintwork…
As we sat there silently eating our very expensive KFC, with just the sounds of the arcade machines ringing in the background of the deserted service station, we assessed the damage. It was terminal. The bike was a one piece carbon frame and it had been cracked. Even if it was repairable it would never be the same again. So we moved on, and started to think about upgrades…The first one that came to mind was a rear mounting bike rack!

Fried green tomato and arepa.
It's only a few steps from tourist-flooded Lincoln Road, but once the outdoor mall's din fades, Oolite feels miles away. Kris Wessel, however, says he's confident his menu — tropical, healthful, and satisfying — is a good fit for body-conscious South Beach. He's also hoping to lure private parties after they've spent the day across the street at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Stream 3:33's Wordless Dirge-Raps 'BB-2' and 'BB2-8'
Parallel Thought pals prep 'Bicameral Brain' double-album for October
New Jersey's Parallel Thought is more than just a couple of fellas composing funk-fueled horror-score bangers for atypical MCs like Del the Funky Homosapien and Gene the Southern Child. It's a label too, home to 3:33 — an anonymous group who create brutal drone-rap instrumentals as inspired by the avant-garde work of John Cage and the tradition set forth by D-Styles on his Phantazmagorea classic.
On October 29, the crew drops their most ambitious set yet: Bicameral Brain, a double album that comes with a concept of sorts. As laid out by Parallel Thought LTD, 3:33's creative process took them to a place where, "One side spoke commands in the form of auditory hallucinations and the other listened and obeyed." Apropos, SPIN is proud to premiere not one, but two songs from the 25-song collection.
First up is "BB-2," a drum-crushing beat-dirge awash in pestilent atmosphere and enriched by mumbled mantras. The claustrophobia induced by the track is a very real thing, even if the music is beautiful in its own wonderfully weird way. And the second share is "BB2-8," a seven-minute sprawl that features primitive percussion, eerie ambience, synthesized strings, and digital discomfort, ending in a nightmarish smear.

Corea Kalbi aims to serve healthy Korean BBQ by using top quality meats that are free from MSG and offering fresh and light options such as seared Chilean sea bass and octopus cucumber salad. Their menu also includes savory dishes such as boneless bulgogi and marinated short ribs that patrons can feast upon or bring home to please their carnivorous pet dragons.
From the affordable prices through the cozy atmosphere to the always delicious food, there's plenty to love about Love Letter. They've got two specialties here: pizza and chicken. The fried chicken is juicy and tender. Also, if you're getting a little tired of plain ol' pepperoni for your pizza topping, try a more exotic option in one of Love Letter's sweet potato pizzas. Both pizza and fried chicken are great drinking food, and you've got a fine selection of brew to choose from here. Just be careful with the spicy chicken: this isn't chicken that has spicy in the name but is actually pretty mild. If you like a really kick, then you'll love the spicy chicken.
The Flame Broiler founder Young Lee found himself eating out of paper bags quite often. His career required a great deal of travel during the day, which made eating from fast food restaurants a habit. Unfortunately, his options for healthier, quick-service fare left him craving something different. In 1995, he took matters into his own hands and opened the first Flame Broiler location, serving Korean-style slices of beef and chicken that were free of dairy, trans-fat, HFCS, and added MSG. He didn't just take away harmful ingredients, though?he also added his signature Flame Broiler marinade and sauce, beds of white and brown rice, and slices of crisp vegetables. This more nutritious take on fast food caught on, as diners can now eat at 135 Flame Broiler locations in four different states and two parallel universes.
We have been rated Best Fried Chicken in Los Angeles by Jonathon Gold - LA Weekly. We only serve all natural / organic chicken raised without hormones or antibiotics. We have over 1050+ locations in Korea and Shanghi China, with 7 locations in the U.S. 4 location in Southern California and 3 in New York region.
At Sura Korean BBQ & Tofu, meat and tofu put aside their differences in the name of cooperating to create savory Korean feasts. Bulgogi—sliced beef marinated in 12 flavorful ingredients—stars in many dishes, from japche rice-paper wraps to custom-made bibimbap served in a hot stone pot. Instead of sculpting faux turkeys from vatfuls of guacamole, vegans can build feasts from meat-free dishes such as tofu soup and sushi-like kimchi kimbap. The restaurant's popular korean tacos encourage meats and greens to hang out together, housing combinations of bulgogi, pork, chicken, veggies, or tofu. Outdoor seating invites patrons to dine amid verdant plants, whereas comfy indoor booths honor nature with sunny lights and bamboo wall coverings.
Tucked away in the kitchen of each Paris Baguette, bakers trained in French techniques craft buttery, flaky croissants and tart crusts, and their success at this has earned attention from the likes of the New York Times. In addition to pastries and sweets such as mocha rice balls, the bakers knead bread for their namesake baguettes and yeasty creations that hold an Asian twist, such as red-bean-paste-filled donuts. The experts also create fondant-cloaked cakes that venture beyond classic flavors into green tea, cappuccino, and sweet potato, delighting partygoers bored of the same laminated sheet cake that makes its appearance at each year's birthday celebration.
To wash down these treats, patrons sip cups of java or more exotic drinks such as wheatgrass and black-sesame lattes, persimmon smoothies, and bubble tea. At lunchtime, many locations layer sandwiches, filling hungry stomachs with croque monsieurs and baguettes stuffed with chicken and pesto.

I know I posted on using split tomatoes before (ended up just cooking those into juice and didn't can it, put 1.5 quarts in fridge for DH). But now with all this rain, even with throwing all the worst split/rotting ones as I picked them, I have a bunch sitting on my counter that have little black spots (not rot - blight?). More with some splits (not all the way through the skin), still more that have developed small rotten/moldy areas while sitting waiting for me to get to them (I've thrown out SOOOO many, I hate to throw out more). And more yet that were good Friday but didn't sell at market (but they're still sitting in the cab of the truck, went to fair yesterday and haven't pulled them out so I don't know how they are).
So, in order, what should I do with roughly 10 lbs of tomatoes (don't know how many pounds of each)? Are spotty ones OK to freeze and process later as long as no soft spots? 1. Rotten spots/splits - cut them out, peel and cook - can? Freeze? Or pitch? 2. Black spots on skin - peel and can? Freeze? Not too many of these (maybe 1-2 lbs of small slicers) 3. Perfect (maybe 3 lbs mixed slicers and plum if they haven't gone bad sitting in the truck 36 hrs) - these are fine for canning |
Follow-Up Postings:
I do use less than perfect tomatoes for making sauce. I peel the skins, cut out any imperfections - areas around the split, soft spots, and areas where there were black spots on the skin. I simmer the sauce for a couple hours, so I have made the assumption that any bacteria would be killed by the long cooking time. Since these are end of year tomatoes, I usually don't have a ton of them. So I have usually just frozen the sauce since I hate to run my canner for less than a full batch. But I wouldn't hesitate to can them if I had enough. |
Not recommended. If must be used, pressure can. Dave |
Don't have a PC (not one with a weight set that I can use on my stove). Linda Z says in her Joy of Pickling, Mary Randolph's recipe for Ketchup, to add 1/2C of vinegar to the tomato puree (made with 1 peck of tomatoes, yield 2.5 pints). I probably wouldn't even BWB it since there is no other vinegar (or sugar) in this recipe, but was thinking of making a pint or half pint of this ketchup and keeping it in the fridge? I know I had asked about canning them before (2nd link from Dave) - for the record, I ended up just juicing those as I said above, they were too seedy to even bother with for spaghetti sauce. Even the plum tomatoes I picked at blush have been getting rotten spots on them sitting on my counter, it's been so humid out. More rain when we woke up this AM (though last night's outdoor concert was dry - cold, but dry). I told DH we might as well just build an ark. He said we could move to the rain forest - at least it would be warmer. Sorry for everybody suffering from drought, but this has had to be the wettest year on record (except for exceptionally dry July might throw that off) here in New England and the gardens/crops have really suffered. |
Surely you don't mean to imply that Linda Z is offering that as a way to use poor quality tomatoes? Poor quality IN equals poor quality and likely unsafe OUT or I think it was Carol who said the other day, "junk in equals junk out". Even the plum tomatoes I picked at blush have been getting rotten spots on them sitting on my counter, That indicates either Alternaria Canker or Anthracnose - neither of which should be canned (or even kept) in any way as the fungus penetrates deeply. Pressure canning will kill fungus, BWB will not and neither does boiling no matter how long you do it. So if you are going to can diseased/damaged tomatoes buy a pressure canner. Dave |
Never can diseased tomatoes. If you insist you eat them, then freeze them. I would throw them away, personally. |
I would throw them at the stage during a bad melodrama, personally. :-) This time of year, late in the season, both tomato plants and fruit are getting one disease or another. I have fruit with black spots, some with splotchy colors, a lot that cracked in the rain. There are still plenty out there that are fine, so the only damaged ones I'll use for anything are those that are perfectly fine except for very recent, shallow cracking. Sick fruit just doesn't taste very good, let alone the risks. |
Well, I threw away the worst (moldy spots) but kept the splits, and anything with just small black spots on the skin (not sunken, look like flyspeck on apples). Got 1/2 peck, have them boiling now with 1 Tbsp salt. I'll see what I get after putting them through the mill - DH might just get more fresh juice. I'm confused about what you can actually can, since Linda Z recommends acidifying if there is any doubt (which I am doubtful of the splits and surface spotting since the leaves are blackened and hanging - it's septoria, late blight, antracnose or all 3). And NCHFP says this about making tomato juice so obviously fruit doesn't have to be absolutely perfect (though I would not can moldy fruit: "Procedure: Wash, remove stems, and trim off bruised or discolored portions." I did freeze some split ones at the beginning of the month - will those be OK? Even the Brandywines I picked at blush are getting small sunken spots - been cutting those out and using for tomato sandwiches, even though I have to throw the top half away since they're not ripe yet. |
I don't know what Linda Z says that you are referring to but I suspect it is taken out of context or mis-understood. Acid is added because tomatoes have to be acidified period. Not because they are diseased or damaged. If, indeed, she is advocating using disease damaged tomatoes then I'd sure pass on her advice to do so. And "bruised or discolored portions" does NOT mean "diseased". It just means bruised from a bump of some kind or discolored from uneven ripening, green shoulders, etc. fruit that has been picked from a healthy plant. NCHFP makes it clear that tomatoes from diseased plants should not be canned - added acid or not - and I feel pretty sure that Linda Z also subscribes to that belief. And just to be clear: when I say "So if you are going to can diseased/damaged tomatoes buy a pressure canner." does not mean I advocate canning them. I don't. All I mean is that if you feel you simply must do it despite the recommendations against it then they should be pressure canned only. Dave |
After smelling those tomatoes cooking down for the past hour, I decided to have tomato soup for lunch! There wasn't that much after milling anyway - just enough for me and DH. But for future reference, I figured a picture (or a dozen) was worth 1000 words. Here are the tomatoes with spots I was talking about: Here are ones that will get thrown in the compost pile (or just pulled up with the plants on the next non-rainy day, the plants are done with): Split on top of Brandywine - OK to use the bottom of the tomato for canning? But I'm worried about these I found on the plant today - are any more tomatoes going to be OK off this plant? Doesn't look like rot or disease has penetrated this one But this one is really worrisome (obviously this one gets thrown away, but I don't even know if it should go in the compost pile or the trash - and what about the plant?). And here are the leaves of the plants - don't be shocked, it's late in a terrible wet season. But are the green tomatoes from these plants even OK for pickling now? I'm also leaving the Brandywine a few more days hoping to get some more breakers since the green tomatoes look OK. Plum plant Brandywine Glacier (plants are about done for, these will be pulled this week but I want to know if green tomatoes are OK for pickling): Thanks. Maybe next year will be a better year. |
I don't know what those tiny black spots are, but they look more like a minor blemish from some bug bite than a disease. As for the rest and your descriptions, It looks like you know what you're doing. |
I'm pretty sure they're not bug bites. I'm thinking blight or anthracnose - but if it's only skin-deep, is it OK to peel and can those? I also cooked (but didn't can) the ones with shallow splits that didn't go all the way through the skin. And the BW that had splits on the green tops (like the photo), a few sunken spots but cut WAYYYY around them, couldn't see throwing out the other 1/2 lb of each tomato. Linda's comment and NCHFP procedure make me question my previous assumption that only "perfect" fruit can be canned. If imperfect can be used, where do you draw the line on imperfections? There are a lot of places selling "seconds" or "canning" tomatoes out there that I wouldn't even consider, my tomatoes (even some I threw out) look better than those, are mine pictured above OK? Mary Randolph's ketchup recipe did not have any vinegar or sugar. Linda Z says Mary recommended making this vinegar in August (of course this was b4 canning was invented, or at least in home use) so that to avoid the late blight. Linda says if you have any doubt about your tomatoes to add 1/2C vinegar to this recipe and BWB. I had my doubts about this recipe (would add lemon juice to jars per NCHFP if canning), but because of that comment was just wondering if 1. These spots might be late blight or anthracnose and 2. Would additional acid (on top of NCHFP recommendations) really be OK if they were late blight or some other fungal disease, or if using splits? Obviously I would not can anything that was soft/moldy/overripe or if the split was through the skin and showing decomposition around the edges or oozing. I don't Linda is recommending that - just saying that if you even *think* you may have blight to add acid. Hope that clarifies my questions. |
Linda's comment and NCHFP procedure make me question my previous assumption that only "perfect" fruit can be canned. Anyone "can" (may) can any fruit they find acceptable. The issue is "should" you can them? And the answer to that is It is not recommended. The photos of your plants show severely diseased plants with both bacterial speck as well as the fungus infections mentioned before. Given the degree of disease in the pictures it would be almost impossible to be getting unaffected fruit from them. But the choice as to whether to can them or not is yours to make. Adding additional acid to fungi-contaminated food does not kill fungi, neither does boiling and neither does a BWB processing. Only pressure canning can kill fungi. The proper acid level can stop the growth and production of toxins but it doesn't kill it. And that is only if the pH is sufficiently acidic. So the question for Linda Z would be how does she know that adding 1/2 c of vinegar would be sufficient? If it isn't it only slows the growth and the production of toxins. And since pH doesn't remain stable on the shelf, how would you know if the food was safe or not? Would you be cooking the ketchup again after opening to destroy the toxins? No. There is no ambiguity to the NCHFP position. It isn't a question of "perfection" in the tomato. Damage from injury, uneven ripening, cat-facing, fused fruit, etc. are all acceptable. Disease is not so the issue is the absence of disease. They make it quite clear: Selecting, Preparing and Canning Tomatoes Introduction Quality: Select only disease-free, preferably vine-ripened, firm fruit for canning. Caution: Do not can tomatoes from dead or frost-killed vines. Green tomatoes are more acidic than ripened fruit and can be canned safely with any of the following recommendations. Is salvaging end-of-the-season fruit from plants that are clearly diseased really worth the risk? Dave |
Thanks Dave. I know the Glaciers are done for - I've been throwing away more lately than harvesting (I said I had about 1-2 lbs perfect, and a few more with just some black specks). I think over the course of the season now I've thrown away more than I've harvested. Glad to know that the black specks are considered diseased and not good for canning (though we will eat the remaining ones on the counter fresh as long as they'll last). I wasn't sure about the "dead vines" line since when I picked them last week the branches they were on were not dead. So the "dead vines" means that if any part of the plant dies an untimely death, don't use *any* of the tomatoes for canning? What about the cracking BW? Still OK to eat the bottoms (not canned)? I don't know what that rot is on the small one I found yesterday - first time I've seen that. Won't be many green tomatoes, except for BW's. I understand these will be OK to slice and pickle? All these plants are going in the trash, not the compost. I also should have been carrying a bucket to put the rejects in instead of throwing them over the fence - going to have to clean up the area. But I have been putting the split ones and the ones that started getting sunken rotten spots on my counter (even though they looked fine when I picked them) in the compost - have I just ruined next year's compost? The last time I canned anything from these plants was some hot sauce on 9/4 (and the only other thing was jam on 8/27, haven't canned anything else), and the plants looked much better then having survived the hurricane with just some minor damage, though might have been some spots (I thought Septoria) on some of the leaves at that time, no spots on the tomatoes, is that sauce likely to be OK? Will I be able to tell if it's going bad? Or is there potential for botulism due to the tomatoes being less acidic than usual b/c plants were already infected? I think they started going downhill after the hurricane 8/27 with 10+ inches of rain and then the 5 inches that followed on the 5th-8th of Sept so I can't really remember exactly how the plants looked before the 4th (I was using tomatoes picked in between those 2 rain events). Your expertise is very much appreciated. |
Looking at photos of anthracnose on tomatoes, I'm still not sure those tiny black dots are the same thing. I have some tomatoes myself with anthracnose, its pretty obvious. Here, it seems to develop about 3-5 days after the fruit is picked, and where the fruit has been bruised. But in any event, when in doubt, throw it out. As far as throwing out the diseased tomatoes/contaminating compost. I go on the theory that the spores / bacteria are in my soil anyway, or blow in with the wind, and no way to have a sterile garden environment with no potential disease organisms. I compost all the plant material, diseased or not, and make a good, hot pile which will kill/neutralize the nasty bacteria, then once I've got decent compost, use it back in the garden. I find the best protection against future disease is a good mulch to keep the soil / microbes from splashing up, along with the normal plant care of good gardening. |
Yeah, david, anthracnose is usually the sunken spots (just found 2 plums at bottom of market basket that have it now though they looked fine on Friday). I've had that b4, though not to this extent. I haven't used those tomatoes (sometimes I'll cut it out and cook or eat fresh, like my heirlooms), I really don't know what the small black spots are since some seem to be sinking but not a lot, and most are just on the skin b/c I don't see anything when I peel them. And I really don't know what that huge rotten spot on the one small BW was - first time I've seen that kind of damage too. Even though I have mulch down, we lowered the plants down to the ground the day b4 the hurricane to minimize wind damage and I think they came back up with all sorts of fungi. |
Aha! Found it at Cornell site, it's bacteria canker. Still not sure if tomatoes are OK if peeled? And still looking for the disease that BW has - early blight? I've had EB on leaves b4, but have never seen a fruit affected like this. Then again, we've never had as wet a year as this. |

Hello! I am a student at UC Berkeley currently studying political science/economy and French. I am interested in the state of labor reform in Western European countries.
I love to travel...but with the weakening dollar I have had to make do with living in Berkeley for the time being...although it has not been bad at all! I live just a few blocks from Chez Panisse (hopefully I will go someday...)and there are so many different cuisines here that I want to try! I most recently had Tibetan and Burmese food, yum!
I am almost 100% converted to organic and environmentally friendly products...stop buying plastic bottles, bring your own bags to stores, reduce waste!

Body of Work
The board-certified plastic surgeon talks myths and reality
Q&A with Thomas Bartell, a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Q: Can you explain what plastic surgery actually is, and what reconstructive and cosmetic procedures are?
A: It's a common misperception that people think "plastic surgery" means using plastic the material. The word plastic comes from the Greek word plastikos, which means to mold or give form to. And that's what plastic surgeons do—mold the human body. [The field] got a boost after World War I during which people suffered from tremendous injuries. General surgeons had to come up with new ways to treat those patients.
There are two types of surgeries, reconstructive and cosmetic. Reconstructive is designed to return an abnormal or diseased structure back to normalcy. That's why traditional insurance policies won't pay for cosmetic procedures, but will pay for reconstructive procedures. Reconstructive surgeries might include a cleft palate, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, genetic abnormalities and traumatic wounds. Cosmetic surgeries are the tummy tucks, breast augmentations, et cetera.
Q: What are common misconceptions about plastic surgery?
A: The cosmetic side is typically portrayed as done for rich and very vain people. I don't see rich and vain people around here—that might be the case in Beverly Hills or New York. Here in the Midwest I perform surgery on average people; many patients finance their surgeries with loans. They're average, middle-class working people who want to feel better about themselves.
The primary operations I do are breast augmentation and tummy tucks. (Dr. Bartell also does breast lifts and reductions, liposuction, arm lifts and post-weight-loss surgery. He doesn't do facial work anymore).
Q: Are there any health reasons to have cosmetic surgery? Are any procedures covered by insurance?
A: The one procedure I do that does have insurance reimbursement is breast reductions. Women with large breasts can have pain in their neck and shoulders, rashes under the breasts—it can be a legitimate problem. It's rare for people to have physical symptoms for the cosmetic procedures.
Q: What's changed in the field?
A: The advent of outpatient surgery. You didn't see that twenty or thirty years ago. When I started my general surgery training, for the tiniest little operation, patients would come in the hospital the night before, come in for tests and it was a three- to four-day deal. Here I do major surgeries in my operating room and the patient can go home.
Q: How do you help patients determine whether they're a good fit for plastic surgery?
A: In my patient consultations (which are free and no obligation), I'll ascertain what bothers them and what their general health is to see if they're a reasonable candidate. Then I'll show them how the procedure is done and what types of expectations they can have. I don't operate on everyone—obviously they need to be healthy. If they have uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure or any other condition that precludes a safe surgery I won't operate.
I only operate on people who have realistic expectations. I am in the improvement business, not the perfection business. If someone comes in and tells me about a problem and I don't see it—I can't fix it if I don't see it. If the person is overly perfectionist and they're not going to be happy, I'd be crazy to operate on them.
Q: What are the qualifications consumers should look for in a plastic/reconstructive surgeon?
A: Look for someone that's board certified in the field they're practicing in; in this case, plastic surgery. You don't have to be board certified to call yourself a plastic surgeon—to practice medicine you need a medical degree and license, but you should also be board certified in your field. Some doctors will take a weekend course in a procedure, and that's why you hear all of those horror stories about procedures being done in hotel rooms! Your doctor also has to have a license in the state they're practicing in.
Find someone that specializes in the operation you're interested in. There are a lot of surgeons that specialize in a lot of different areas.
You want to go to someone that you can connect with. So it may take a couple of [interviews with] surgeons to figure out who listens to your concerns and will be there after your surgery if you have problems.

There is no point in trying to PVP, its just a stun fest and you get to stand there and watch your character get killed and have nothing to say about it.
Trinket out of it? Can't ..."You can't use this while you are stunned'... what exactly is the point of having a trinket that removes all movement impairing effects that cant be used when you are stunned.

Death Knight creation bug solution {WoW}
Nov 12th 2008 6:31PM This is probably related to the server index display bug. The server list often does not display the full number of toons you have (people were running into this a lot when getting near their limit..the screen would show 9 toons on a server when they actually already had 10).
The list often needs to be updated with some sort of new input to 'kick start' the db to update properly. Adding a level 1 toon would force the data to update to the current correct amount.

Nov 11th 2008 11:52PM Just a helpful hint from on IT guy to another.
Backups are great, but if a system crashes after a patch then you have to make sure your backup doesnt have the exact same problem hidden away waiting to happen again.
Secondly.. this was likely a corruption in the mail database. Not many IT guys can wave a magic wand and find all the corrupt data and simultaneously fix it in one second. It would take time to find the data, figure out how the data was corrupted, and how far back the last safe backup was.
Blizzard could keep the realms down while it ran checks on the mail data, or it could pull the data, plug it into a separate system and run their checks safely while players are back in the game. No effect on the game servers, no interrupted play while the db cleaning goes on in the background.
Might wanna consider a db refresher IT guy.

"I was very surprised by how flavorful these potatoes were! I expected them to be somewhat bland...not so. They were delicious. I also like this dish because it is made with ingredients that most cooks always have in their kitchen. I'll make this one again!"
"This recipe is simple and delicious. I like the fact that this dessert is made with ingredients most of us already have around the kitchen. There was a lot of crumb topping, so I ended up putting some on the bottom of the pan. It worked out very well...I'll be making this one again! "

How To Use Resilience To Face Challenges
If these are questions are difficult to answer, ask a friend, a coach, a mentor, or a therapist to help you in separating your supportive beliefs from those that keep you small. The key is to stay in the solution, not the problem. Can some of life's challenges be problematic? Of course! Again, it's a matter of choosing response versus reaction to bring desired results. Most failure occurs because people either fail to effectively plan, they don't effectively communicate their plan or they simply give up in the face of adversity. Do you want to add your dreams to the junk pile or the mountain of jewels? It is truly your choice.
Of greater concern, what we are teaching our children when we lack resilience? Studies have shown that resilience is ordinary, not extraordinary. Most of what we need to make our dreams come true lies within. It is in learning how to harness our strengths that success is made. Can we allow our youth to see us give up or quit because life is too tough to handle? 5 Tips For Moms & Dads On Bonding With Their Kids
The model that children most likely follow and truly want to follow is that of the parent or guardian. We have a supreme responsibility to set the course for not only our success, but for the success of generations to come. This can be accomplished by continued commitment and passion for our dreams and making them happen. It can also occur when we are challenged and in how we manage such obstacles. Our youth today is watching our every move. They are looking for model behavior to help them succeed in a world that has greater demands every day. We are tasked with demonstrating the commitment necessary to fulfill our desires through our resilience. The results will show in the choices that our children make, and we must accept responsibility for those choices before they are made.
Here are 5 hints that resilience is showing up in your child's life:
1. Is your child expressing a desire to improve their grades?
2. Does your child ask for your assistance in their projects?
3. Are your child's accomplishments being acknowledged by them?
4. Can your child tell a story of how they have overcome a challenge in life?
5. Are you indentifying completion in your child's activities?
These are simple ways to see if it is happening or not. If not, you may want to emphasize some of these areas with your child after having taken responsibility for your part. Since each child is as unique, it is important to discover what motivates them and then support, reward, and discipline accordingly. How it worked for us may not be how it needs to work for them.
Remember, children get most of their input from parents and guardians, but not all. Particularly in the digital age, influences abound and we must be conscious of what our children's interests are and support them as long as they are nurturing and beneficial. Sometimes seeing the benefit is the hard part for us adults. Give children the room they need to express themselves. 5 Things Your Kids Should Know About Their Online Reputation
Most important to remember is that resilience comes from experience and taking risks. "Wisdom is knowledge and the awareness of its limitations." — Viktor Frankl.

I whole heartedly agree with QuiltTeddy. Magic is the best ship. We were on her twice in the past few months for our 11th and 13th cruise with DCL. Disney's Main Street program keeps the ship beautiful, but as a frequent cruiser I saw a couple very minor things that you definitely would not have noticed had you not sailed on her very often. On our veranda there was what looked like a hole that rusted through on the decorative facia around the door. Also, the door did not lock the way it is supposed to, but big whoop!
Additionally, while walking on deck 6 down the port side somewhere around mid-ship someone pointed out a loose thread on one of the medallions in the carpet. I thought it was due to age, but I just happen to walk out the elevator about an hour later and someone was there fixing it. Turns out it was just a one off. This is the type of performance we always expect from the Crew of the best ship on earth. Food and crew were nothing but impeccable. We did have one extremely minor issue with one crew member but it turned out to be a misunderstanding and it was corrected quickly. The ship is ready for its overhaul coming up later this year but you could not tell it. We have cruised on RC ships fresh out of dry dock that looked far worse for the wear. DCL is Magical!! |

Very Good. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall 0285622897 Paperback Paperback. Slightly sunned spine. Crease to corner back cover. This book is at once a celebration of that uisge-beatha, or water of life, that sacred distillation from the grain, whose secret was handed down by their wise Celtic ancestors to enliving and enlighten the Gaels; and a lament for ancient skills and ancient rituals defiled by the conquerors, who first transformed the 'drink made in a man's home' into an 'affair of public manufacture', then saw in it a source of tax and revenue for foreign coffers, and banned the pot stills from Highland homes altogether. The author in this witty, indignant little book tells what is known of the history of whisky, describes its making and maturing, and instructs the drinker on how to distinguish a good pot-still from a patent blend. 'A single whisky', he assured his readers forty year ago, 'can still be got by those geniuinely concerned to find it', and he lists some of the great names to delight lovers of 'the real stuff'. Most of these names can still be searched out today. This book is a book for lovers of good whisky, and for lovers of a Gaelic way of living and being which is not yet beyond recall. 198 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, and all types of Academic Literature. )

Microparticle Manipulation
Liquid as a suspending medium serves as an ideal environment for the study and manipulation of biological molecules. These molecules, often idealized as spherical particles are typically on the order of nanometers to microns in size and can be affected in a variety of ways, including optically, electrically, acoustically, and mechanically. The Biomedical Engineering Lab is currently using the electrical methods of electrophoresis (EP) and dielectrophoresis (DEP) to assess the validity of a novel electrode material for particle manipulation.

(a) In a uniform electric field, uncharged particles (black) are unaffected, while charged particles (black with gray shell) move towards the oppositely charged electrode. (b) In a nonuniform field, uncharged and charged particles can be directed based on positive or negative dielectrophoresis as a function of the particle and medium properties as well as the electric field.

Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) is a widely used tool for morphological analysis in biology, chemistry, and polymer science. Using this technique, samples can be imaged in their native environment without fixing or staining, which often cause fundamental conformational changes. The Biomedical Engineering Lab has developed a novel platform that boasts sub-second time resolution, native sample morphology and low sample loss through minimized adhesion due to our use of glass capillaries leveraging capillary action to prepare samples. Currently we are using our novel platform to determine the effects shear has had on samples prepared using commercial instruments that can alter sample morphology.

Court lifts Chelsea transfer ban
Chelsea have had their transfer ban lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after reaching an agreement with Lens over the signing of Gael Kakuta.A statement on the Cas website said that the two clubs and the player had accepted the player's contract with the French side was not valid. Thus Kakuta could not have terminated it prematurely, so Chelsea could not be liable for inducing it to be breached. The Cas said all parties agreed the proceedings would remain confidential.

"Most women realize they have to look good not just from the front but also from the back while performing their next pass," says Montenegro. But those muscles behind you -- your lower back, hamstrings and glutes -- aren't just for show. "Great sex -- no matter what the position may be -- requires a strong and flexible back, as well as a set of strong glutes and hamstrings for support and stability," says Montenegro. That's when a classic exercise called "good mornings" can come to your rescue.
How to do it: Stand with a light barbell across your back. Your feet should be narrower than shoulder width apart, knees slightly flexed, feet pointed forward. Keeping your back flat and abs tight, bend at the waist and stick your butt out behind you until your torso is almost parallel to the floor (Don't bend your legs as you lower the bar -- you should feel your butt and hamstrings stretch as you bend.) Reverse the motion until you've returned to the starting position and repeat. Try to do 10-12 repetitions per set.
"The adductor and abductor muscles within your thighs may be small, but to reach that 'oh, baby' moment, you have to hit them," says Montenegro. Training these tiny muscles can keep your legs from tiring out as fast, especially in poses that require you to either wrap your legs around your partner or maintain them in a widened position. "The physio ball bridge exercise (with one leg straight up) forces you to squeeze all of the stabilizer muscles as you simultaneously contract your adductors, abductors and your glutes," says Montenegro.
How to do it: Lie on your back with your feet on a stability ball, knees bent. Place your arms out to your sides for balance, palms facing up. Lift one leg and extend it so your heel is pointing to the ceiling. Holding that position, slowly raise your hips up until your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders, then lower back down. Repeat the move for 10-12 repetitions, then switch to work the opposite leg. "Keep the ball stable and don't touch the floor the entire time," says Montenegro. "You should feel all of your muscles -- your glutes, adductors, abductors and hamstrings -- engaged at all times."
Hard Core
"He's not the only one that has to worry about being able to last as long as possible," says Montenegro. "In order to maintain certain poses, you must have strong abs, not just to help you sustain a position but to avoid injuring your back. Doing a sit-up with a small Physio ball between your legs is an excellent exercise to [get] rock-hard abs for hardcore you-know-what."
How to do it: Lie down on your back with your feet flat against a wall for support and a medicine ball between your thighs. Cross your arms over your chest, then squeeze the ball with your legs. (You'll squeeze the ball throughout the entire exercise.) Keeping your chin off your chest, contract your ab muscles and slowly lift yourself up. (Your back should stay flat as you go.) Lower yourself back down to the floor and repeat for 10-15 reps. "If you need to increase the difficulty, hold a dumbbell or place a weight plate across your chest," says Montenegro.

Perseverance pays off
Henrico student, mom earns fellowship
A Henrico woman is one of 10 outstanding students recently selected by The Virginia Foundation for Community College Education (VFCCE) as part of its second class of Valley Proteins Fellows. J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College student Daphne Jones was a perfect candidate for the program, which was created to celebrate and enhance leadership capacity of students who have demonstrated great potential in the community college system. Jones leads a busy life as a single mother of four who also has custody of her 17-year-old special needs brother, who is the driving force behind her perseverance to become a nurse practitioner. "I hit a point in my life where I made a decision to help understand my brother and educate people about taking care of others," said Jones, who describes her life as layers upon layers of lessons. "I can say to people, 'I know the pain you're going through,' because I've been in their position. I know how it feels to wonder what the next step is, and I know how to help them through it; there's a brighter side to everything." As a recipient of The Valley Proteins scholarship, Jones' full tuition and fees will be covered at JSRCC. The Fellows also participate in a unique leadership curriculum through community service and receive individualized assistance in obtaining financial aid and transferring to four-year institutions. This added bonus will help Jones on her long path of continued education. Valley Proteins is a 50-year old family-owned business based in Winchester that operates 12 plants in 7 states. "I was nervous to go to school but I went in with the idea that once I start this, no matter how hard and frustrating it will be I'm going to do it," Jones said. "I was scared but then excitement took over, then the excitement went away and I was filled with love. I'm in love with school and I'm learning to love what I'm doing; it gives me confidence." Jones is fully dedicated to her family despite her busy schedule, as she manages to communicate and get reports from her children's teachers weekly to make sure they are on the right track. She hopes that her devotion to education will set an example for her children as she stresses that they should do what she's doing but "100 times better," while striving to go above and beyond normal expectations. During her first year at JSRCC Jones did just that, as she earned a perfect 4.0 GPA. JSRCC English professor Barbara Walsh remembered when she first met Jones on campus in the cafeteria and could sense that she was a hard-working student with a kind heart. "She struck me as being a really good student, so I said, 'Why don't you sign up for my English class' and she did," Walsh recalled. After a short time, Walsh became thoroughly impressed with Jones' dedication and unusual habits. Jones would come into class a few minutes early with a vocabulary word of the day for the class and would teach the students around her, willing to share knowledge and help other students. Walsh has been at JSRCC for six years and had never nominated a student for the Fellows program. "When I got the email for nominating, I knew I should nominate her," said Walsh. "I have never seen someone totally dedicated, and I have a lot of students that work hard but they don't go above and beyond. I really have never met anyone like her before." Jones manages to balance her school and home life, involving her children in the studying process as she studies on average six to eight hours a day. "My kids tell me I'm going to get a brain cramp," said Jones with a chuckle. "If I'm studying science I'll bring in Jayson, my 10-year-old, and I'll go on Google and watch videos, make flashcards and a Powerpoint, and then I'll have him test me on everything we just went through. "Not only does he know about it and we both learn, but it is a bonding experience, it's how I keep them involved, and I don't have to leave the house for hours to study." Jones will begin her second year at JSRCC this fall with the goal of earning an associate degree in nursing. She hopes to transfer to Virginia Commonwealth University to pursue a bachelor of science in nursing degree and a minor in education. She also wants to earn a master's in nursing and then become a nurse practitioner. The schooling will be costly and timely, but Jones is dedicated and knows what she wants and intends to get it. "I need to work even harder because so many people believe in me and think extremely highly of me," said Jones. "Eventually one day I know I'll be finished with this. Until then, I won't stop." |

I'm trying to find vines to cover up some ugly (but much needed!) outbuildings on the farm. But evergreen is quite important if possible.
English ivy is REALLY SLOW to establish in this zone. Too slow. Is there anything else? If not I am willing to use hops (perennial and isn't incredibly early growing), and kiwis, which I haven't had great luck with here. Thanks- I'd love to hear any other ideas- if there are any! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It probably is in your zone but I'd hate to see you plant the ivy and hate it after it invades the structure or overtakes other plants. I'd even encourage you to not plant English Ivy at all as it's becoming a problem in many areas in North America. The US Dept of Agriculture has listed English Ivy as a "quarantined" plant in Oregon and many other states (can't be sold or transplanted anywhere here..it's that much of a thug). Birds are spreading seeds from the berries it produces and we are currently working tirelessly to eradicate it from our forested areas. Here's just some of what I've learned about ivy in the past 10 years. I hope it will help you make the best decision for your situation. I would instead recommend a line of evergreen trees (if you have room) as a visual screen or something like that instead. You can Google "USDA Noxious weed list" for your state to find out what it's status is. Hope this helps some...there are a lot of creative ideas online. If you haven't yet, I'd surf around and post queries to see what others may have done to solve similar situations. I'm just not sure that ivy is the best solution for your situation. |
- Posted by dirtslinger2 6 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 6, 09 at 23:44
Yes I fully agree about the ivy! Where I grew up it was clogging the forests up mighty bad. Awful stuff! |
Euonymus fortunei. |
You may not be using one of the cold hardy English Ivy varieties. Try 'Thorndale' (zone 4) it should be quite vigorous in most zone 6 areas if your soil is good and you make sure to feed and water it regularly. Nevermind those Pacific Northwestern-lurkers who believe just because they can't see the stars that they must live at the center of the universe where, apparently, all birds eating ivy in the world will hold it until they can poop those seeds in their rain forests. I use to be one of them, but then I moved to Utah where I found there actually is a sun above those clouds, we revolve around it -- and belive it or not, ivy isn't invasive everywhere. Halle-frick'n-lujah! |

.- A Chaldean priest, abducted by unknown gunmen in Baghdad, was freed this past Sunday according to the Missionary News Service Agency (MISNA).
Fr. Hani Abdul Ahad was abducted in the Iraqi capital on June 6 along with four young people. A group of unidentified gunmen blocked their road as they returned to Fr. Ahad's parish. The four young people were released two days after the kidnapping.
Bishop Shlemon Warduni, auxiliary bishop of Baghdad, confirmed that the priest was freed, is well and has returned to his parish. The bishop confirmed that kidnappers had demanded a ransom for the priest.
Fr. Ahad is the eighth Chaldean priest to be kidnapped.
"We call for everyone to pay attention to our situation, because the Christians of Iraq are in a very terrible situation. We have nothing against anyone, we only want to rebuild Iraq," the bishop told MISNA.
According to Baghdadhope.com, the kidnappings are "part of the phenomenon of the persecution of the Iraqi Christians and is an effective method to spread more terror in the now-scanty Christian community of the capital."
"Abducting a priest is handier," says the website, "because it ensures money and because it sends out a clear message: if the representatives of the Church, who … are forced to take personal security measures, are the victims of abductions and violence, what certainty is there for the ordinary man?"

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Le Duc Tho declined the 1973 Peace Prize-jointly awarded to him and Henry
Kissinger-because it was awarded to them even though Vietnam was not yet
at peace.

karen just brought that point up too, and it's a really interesting
question: has anyone ever turned it down in the history of the prize?

It would be interesting if he turned it down or deferred it. Taking
it is real bad politics.
